What Members are Saying
LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
MY DOOR IS Always Open 2019 is a big year for the North Coast Building Industry Association; it’s our 75th anniversary, a female banker is the President of the Association (a first) and we have a new generation of members getting more involved. The Association is changing. Sometimes change can be painful, but more often than not, change is good. If we don’t change, we won’t grow and thrive. The NCBIA exists for the benefit of its members and the communities it serves. Everything we do depends on volunteers, from the events we host to the community events we participate in to drive awareness of our organization. Our committees and board of directors need passionate, talented people like you. How can you support the NCBIA in our industry and community initiatives? Take a look at the list of committees and consider joining one that fits your schedule and your talents. We need committee chairs, co-chairs, committee members, and members of the board of directors that can wholly commit their time and talents to the events and activities that the NCBIA coordinates throughout the year. We are looking for active members to step into leadership roles now and in the future. If you’d like to be considered for a board of directors seat that will be voted on at our October 16 Birthday Bash/General Membership meeting, please let Judie or myself know by September 10. I am asking all members to think about how the NCBIA can better serve you, your business, and your community’s needs. My door is always open to have conversations with members. The leadership of this Association is here to serve all our members. I have found that I learn more by listening, than by talking. I want to learn from each and every one of you what we’re doing right and what we can improve. We can’t fix something if we don’t know it’s broken. My goal is to make this Association the best it can be for ALL of our members. Please reach out to me with your comments and suggestions.
Liz Schneider of Dollar Bank

EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT
NCBIA HISTORY The 1980’s As we continue our 75th anniversary celebration for the North Coast Building Industry Association, we are now into the 90’s - - a decade of Growth & Progress. Several major events occurred in the early ‘90s. The association was first in the nation for recruiting 73 new members during a one-day membership drive. Membership reached a then all-time high of 472 member companies. Two scattered-site Parade of Homes were held and the first dual-site Homearama was a major success. In 1991, we have our own building which is our current location. This was a dream come true for many of our members who remembered holding meetings in various members’ homes and later meeting in the small office in the Sheffield shopping center or in the converted home on North Ridge Road that the association used as headquarters from 1979 to 1991. On a warm August day in 1993, hundreds of members came together to accomplish a seemingly impossible task – to build a “home” in 24 hours. This marathon construction project was designed to benefit the youth of our communities. The house was completed in 23 ½ hours and sold immediately which let us donate over $15,000 to three local childrens’ charities. It is this type of camaraderie, caring, and community concern amongst competitor associations that made us such a strong organization. During the past five decades, our members have seen wars, a depression, more than a dozen recessions, economic expansions, and thousands of governmental regulations that impact their industry. We have also seen the impact of the baby boom, yuppies, the cold war, the arms race and the collapse of communism. by Judie Docs, CSP, MCSP, MIRM, CMP, CGP
A great deal of pride can be taken as members look back on the countless hours of sacrifice and commitment of excellence that have given us the reputation of “quality and innovation” in our industry.

OHBA EXECUTIVE VP COLUMN
AFFORDABLE HOUSING In the News Good news of course. President Trump recently signed a proclamation urging all levels of government to attack the shortage of affordable housing through regulatory reform (sound familiar)? Now for the next step; what to do about it. While all the rhetoric sounds positive; what really needs to be accomplished is some meaningful efforts. OHBA is a repository of how all levels of government actively engage in ways to make housing less affordable. The span of measures taken in the name of encouraging affordable housing is usually a rationalized goal which involves a subsidy. The end result is an empty promise. Unfortunately, most locals are in search of a payday rather than actually helping accommodate more residents. Sad but true. All of us here know how to ease the affordability burden. That is what our federation is all about. We face resistance from a variety of sources. Some product manufacturers want to “lock” in the use of their products, energy industries want to seal a house up to the point it is unhealthy for the occupants, others want safety equipment that is very costly. Model codes created by publishing companies want new more expensive codes every three years. And I have not mentioned zoning, land development standards or the everominous referendum. Recently, we were asked to look at draft legislation regarding codes and vinyl siding. We asked the proponents if they could help with support from affordable housing advocates. A well-known one refused with the fear of upsetting local officials. A civil right-minded group also deferred. That just begs the question: just who will advocate for affordable housing through regulatory reform? We get little help from other business groups and real estate groups here. It appears we will have to continue to advocate for meaningful remedies. That is our mission. There is a well-documented shortage of affordable housing in Ohio (as well as the entire nation). This exacerbates affordability by driving prices higher. Hopefully, the media will focus a bit on the facts on this issue. It’s our job to keep all focused on the insidious reasons why housing price remain and unattainable by the middle class.

EYE ON HOUSING
SINGLE FAMILY STARTS Expand in June
BY ROBERT DIETZ
A
ccording to estimates from the U.S. Housing and Urban Development and Commerce Department, single-family starts improved in June, consistent with the recent stabilization of the NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI). Single-family starts increased 3.5% to an 847,000 seasonally adjusted annual pace in June. However, total housing starts were down approximately 1% (1.253 million annual rate) due to a decline in apartment construction. Multifamily starts declined 9.2% to a still strong 406,000 annualized rate after an elevated reading in May. On a year-to-date basis, single-family starts are 4.9% lower than the first six months of 2018. NAHB’s forecast, and the forward-looking HMI suggest that future data will show stabilization followed by slight gains due to recent declines in mortgage interest rates. However, single-family permits continued to be soft, with just a slight increase to an 813,000 annualized rate. Single-family permits are down 6.1% on a year-to-date basis. However, the number of single-family units authorized but not under construction declined in June to 85,000 units, down from 90,000 a year ago and a potential signal of additional permit growth ahead. Single-family units authorized but not under construction reached a recent high of 103,000 in December.
respond to for-sale housing demand and ongoing healthy labor markets. The next quarterly edition of the HBGI will report on such conditions. On a regional and year-to-date basis, single-family starts are down 13.6% in the Northeast, 13.4% in the West, 8.3% in the weatherchallenged Midwest (but improving) and up 1% in the South – the only region with net gains. As of June 2019, there were 519,000 single-family homes under construction. This is roughly flat from a year ago. However, there are currently 616,000 apartments under construction, the highest count since April 2017. The cumulative impact of recent declines in current construction activity are seen in the graph below. This impact is responsible for a slight decline in housing’s share of GDP.
We expect additional single-family growth, as areas beyond the exurbs

EYE ON THE ECONOMY
2 KEY FACTORS
Driving Single-Family Housing
J
BY ROBERT DIETZ
ob growth and lower mortgage rates are the positive
economic variables that will support near-term growth for singlefamily construction. In June, 224,000 jobs were added to the nation’s workforce, as the unemployment rate held at just 3.7%. However, the low unemployment is further aggravating the scarcity of skilled laborers. In May, there were 369,000 unfilled jobs in the construction sector. Likewise, lower mortgage interest rates — averaging near 3.8% for a 30-year fixed-rate, according to Freddie Mac — are helping to promote housing demand, although on a limited basis. For example, pending were still down on a year-over-year basis — the 17th straight month of such declines, largely due to ongoing housing affordability constraints. Nonetheless, builder confidence remains positive, increasing one point in July to a level of 65. The NAHB/Wells Fargo HMI has been in the low- to mid-60s for six months. This month’s uptick was matched by a 3.5% gain for single-family starts in June, rising to an annual rate of 847,000. Still, single-family construction in 2019 is down approximately 5% compared to the first half of 2018. Thus far, the South is the only region reporting a net gain in 2019. Single-family permitting is lagging as well. However, the number of homes authorized but not yet under construction has declined to 85,000 after reaching a peak of 103,000 in December. Multifamily construction also declined in June by about 10%, following a particularly strong month of May. Multifamily development has been roughly flat thus far in 2019, with 5-plus unit production up just 0.2% for the first half of the year.

July 2019 BWC News from CareWorks “Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear -- not absence of fear.” ~Mark Twain
BWC Proposing 88% Rebate of 2017 Policy Year Premiums Back to Ohio Employers Ohio Governor DeWine and BWC Administrator McCloud have proposed rebating $1.5 billion dollars back to Ohio employers on their 2017 Policy Year premiums following strong returns on the agency’s investments. This will be the sixth premium rebate from the BWC since 2013. Administrator McCloud will present the proposal to the Ohio BWC’s Board of Directors and a vote will be determined on June 28th.
Do you have an IC Hearing coming up? Navigating the Industrial Commission Process The Workers’ Compensation system can feel frustrating at times, especially when a claim is contested and going through the Industrial Commission adjudication process. Many employers wonder how they fit into the hearing role and what they can do to facilitate a successful hearing outcome. As your third party administrator, we can help! Did you know that CareWorks Comp has sixteen Hearing Reps on staff who attend hearings at the twelve Industrial Commission offices located throughout the State? On average, our team assists Ohio employers with over 12,000 hearings annually. When a hearing is scheduled by the Industrial Commission, it is important to understand the issue that is being addressed. Most hearings are no more than fifteen (15) minutes in length and Hearing Officers are scheduled for four hearings each hour of their docket. The docket is set approximately 21 days prior to the hearing date. This gives all parties time to submit their information to the claim file so that the Hearing Officer can review the documents prior to the hearing date. One of the most common questions we receive from our clients is “do I need to attend this hearing?” The answer is, unfortunately, not a simple yes or no decision. It really comes down to the issue being heard on that particular date and what information and/or testimony you feel you can offer. The most common hearing, where we find employer attendance beneficial, is an initial allowance hearing. The reason for this is because the information considered for an initial allowance hearing can and should include any red flags that an employer discovered during the injury investigation, the employer’s knowledge of the job duties performed by the injured worker and any other pertinent details. Once claim allowance has been determined, the majority of hearings that take place are related to medical facts and therefore do not require employer attendance. We always welcome an employer to any hearing they wish to attend and if you do plan on attending a scheduled hearing, please be sure to let your Claims Examiner know so that the assigned Hearing Rep can meet with you before the hearing starts. The CareWorks Comp Hearing Services team looks forward to assisting you with all of your hearing and Industrial Commission needs.
New Policy Year Starts July 1, 2019 By now you should have received your Ohio BWC Premium Estimation Notice explaining what your estimated payroll and premium will be for the Policy Year 7/1/2019 to 6/30/2020. July 2019
CareWorks Comp highly suggests that you review this notice in detail and confirm if the estimated www.ncbia.com
page 19
payroll numbers the BWC is projecting match what you are projecting for your company. If you are expecting your payroll to change significantly for the 2019 Policy Year (either up or down) we suggest you contact the Ohio BWC to adjust those numbers accordingly. This will ensure a more manageable True Up in the summer of 2020.
Employee Termination - Concerns Beyond an Unemployment Claim In sticky situations, one of an employer’s biggest fears when letting an employee go is whether the employee will file (and win) a lawsuit against them. Our unemployment experts are very sensitive to this fear and we do our best to protect our clients’ interests. Many times, a former employee will “test the waters” by filing an unemployment insurance claim. Successfully fighting and winning such a claim can put your company or organization in a better position to negotiate or to squash a lawsuit. Take advantage of our knowledge and experience in handling a wide range of unemployment issues.

Building Materials Price Declines Led by Lumber and Plywood BY DAVID LOGAN Prices paid for goods used in residential construction decreased by 1.1% in June (not seasonally adjusted) according to the latest Producer Price Index (PPI) released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The decline broke a four-month trend of increases and was only the fifth month over the past two years in which prices fell.
The price index for gypsum products continued its downward trend in June, declining 1.9%. In the last 10 months, gypsum prices have only increased twice.
Over the past 12 months, building materials prices have decreased 1.6%, just the fifth June year-over-year decrease since 2000. The decline is a sharp reversal of June 2017 to June 2018, during which prices increased 8.8%.
Prices have declined by 6.2% and 10.8% since January 2019 and August 2018, respectively.
The PPI report shows that softwood lumber prices decreased (-1.7%, not seasonally adjusted) in June—the index’s third consecutive monthly decline. Prices remain at their lowest level since February 2017. While weekly prices have been volatile since mid-May according to Random Lengths, the difference between the average prices of softwood lumber in May and June mirrored the PPI data (-1.8% v. -1.7%). Ready-mix concrete prices increased 1.2% in June and remain relatively volatile. Prices have risen by more than 1.0% in two of the past three months, something that has only happened in 18 of the previous 231 months.
One of the special indexes published by BLS tracks lumber and plywood in one category. Similar to softwood lumber, the lumber and plywood index fell 2.3%. Prices paid for softwood lumber and lumber and plywood have decreased 23.1% and 17.6%, respectively, since June 2018. page 22

Builder Confidence Holds Firm in July BY ROBERT DIETZ
Builder confidence in the market for newly built single-family homes rose one point to 65 in July, according to the latest National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI). This marks the sixth consecutive month that sentiment levels have held at a steady range in the low- to mid-60s. Builders report solid demand for single-family homes. However, they continue to grapple with labor shortages, a dearth of buildable lots and rising construction costs that are making it increasingly challenging to build homes at affordable price points relative to buyer incomes. Even as builders try to rein in costs, home prices continue to outpace incomes. The current low mortgage interest rate environment should be getting more buyers off the sidelines, but they remain hesitant due to affordability concerns. Still, attractive rates should help spur new home purchases in large metro suburban markets, where approximately onethird of new construction takes place according to the NAHB HBGI. Lower recent have driven new home sales 4% higher on a year-to-date basis thus far in 2019, while single-family permits continue to lag. Derived from a monthly survey that NAHB has been conducting for 30 years, the NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index gauges builder perceptions of current singlefamily home sales and sales expectations for the next six months as “good,” “fair” or “poor.” The survey also asks builders to rate traffic of prospective buyers as “high to very high,” “average” or “low to very low.” Scores for each component are then used to calculate a seasonally adjusted index where any number over 50 indicates that more builders view conditions as good than poor. All the HMI indices inched higher in July. The index measuring current sales conditions rose one point to 72, the component gauging expectations in the next six months moved a single point higher to 71 and the metric charting buyer traffic increased one point to 48. Looking at the three-month moving averages for regional HMI scores, the South moved one point higher to 68 and the West was also up one point to 72. The Northeast remained unchanged at 60 while the Midwest fell a single point to 56. The HMI tables can be found at nahb.org/hmi.

LEGISLATIVE REVIEW
JULY18, 2019 REPORT #11 GOVERNOR SIGNS BUDGET; VETOES PROPERTY TAX PROVISIONS Ohio’s biennial budget bill (HB 166) passed the House and Senate yesterday, which included language from HB 149 Exemption on Residential Development Property. Unfortunately, before Governor DeWine signed the bill, he line item vetoed the property tax language, among 24 other items. The veto message for the item is below. OHBA appreciates all those who made phone calls and contact with their legislators during the process to help keep the language in the bill. Despite all the efforts, the language did not survive the final hurdle: the veto pen. All that can be done now is to contact your legislator about overriding his veto and the Governor asking why it was vetoed. The final enactment is over 2000 pages long, including several other issues OHBA is still reviewing dealing with water quality and development.
Veto Message: Exemption of Residential Development Property This item would require that agricultural property subdivided into residential units be valued at a rate other than market value. This language would impact income to local governments, impact existing development agreements, and impact the ability of a local government to create economic development agreements for their region. Further, it would incentivize subdividing the land long before a developer was ready to build. Therefore, this veto is in the public interest.
2019 Date: September 20th
